Wearing prescription glasses indoors and having to interchange it with sunglasses while going outdoors can be loaded with hassle! As you are required to carry two different pair of glasses, switching from one pair to the other as you move from indoors to outdoors.
However, the glad tiding is light-adaptive photochromic lenses come as a solution to this challenge. Lens users who prefer to wear both types of lenses in their day-to-day lives can stop switching lenses and meet their requirement with just one pair of photochromic glass all the time. Photochromic lens is a kind of two-in-one lens that smartly changes its color depending on the intensity of light reflecting from its surface. This type of lenses protects your eyes, whilst saving you the inconvenience of having to switch glasses frequently.
The UV rays of the sun can be very harmful to your eyes. Generally, detecting sun damage caused to the eyes is not a child’s play. If your eyes are hurting when you are out in the sun even when you are not looking directly at it, chances are your eyes are under the threat of sun damage. The effects of sunlight on the eyes are cumulative and depend on the length of time spent in the sun by an individual. For example, farmers are likely to develop problems such as cataracts at a younger age than office workers. Prolonged exposure to both visible light & UV radiation can lead to gradual degeneration of the retina, damage to the cornea, and pterygium (an overgrowth of the conjunctiva).
Photochromic Lenses also known as “light adaptive lenses “are specially designed lenses that tend to darken automatically in areas having brighter light conditions. They appear totally clear indoors and darken only when its surface molecules come in contact with the ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun. In other words, Photochromic Lenses are the perfect solution for people who aspire to have comfortable vision in all light conditions, without even needing to think about switching glasses.
They help reduce eye strain, eye damage and potential heightened risk of cataracts later in life by blocking up to 100% of UVA/UVB light.

Only one pair of Photochromic Lens will work for you as a sun glass as well as a normal ophthalmic glass sparing you from the hassles of switching glasses.

works 24/7 under brighter light conditions, Photochromic Lens would be perfect for you! They are just like
normal glasses with the ability to give your vision a very smooth transition under different light conditions.
